Portsmouth vs Arsenal

Arsenal knocked Portsmouth out of the FA Cup in a fairly comfortable night for Mikel Arteta’s side, despite a fast start from the hosts.

Mikel Arteta was happy with what he saw from Pablo Mari against Portsmouth as Arsenal made their way into the next round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win on Monday night.

Mikel Arteta remembers what it’s like to play at Fratton Park, and he’s expecting it to be a tough place for Arsenal’s FA Cup team to go.

Arsenal are looking to bounce back from their Europa League exit as they travel to Portsmouth for the FA Cup on Monday, the final trophy they can still win this season.

Portsmouth boss, Kenny Jackett, thinks that the ‘Fratton Park faithful’ can help Portsmouth beat Arsenal on Monday night when the two sides meet in the FA Cup.

Mikel Arteta thinks Pablo Mari, Rob Holding, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson are all in contention to feature against Portsmouth, after playing for the u23s on Friday.

BT Sport have dropped Harry Redknapp from their coverage of Arsenal’s FA Cup game against Portsmouth as they are concerned over his safety amongst the home fans.
